Jellybean
There's a Jellybean
stranded at the top of the stairs,
Its blue beanie body
is covered in hairs,
and its bean there for days,
just gathering dust,
and people walk by
with a look of disgust,
so I pick the bean up
and walk to the bin,
but I change my mind
before I throw it in,
you see, the bin was full -
and I do hate to waste,
so I chewed the bean up
and what a wonderful taste!
This Poem and illustration can be found in my children's poetry Pamphlet Daydreams and Jellybeans. to the full unpublished collection of poems.
